Here are some pictures from a couple of weeks ago at Easter time.

I had bought a set to dye the Easter eggs with, but when it came time actually do it I could not find the package anywhere.  We searched and searched but couldn’t find it.  Since it was the night before Easter and I wasn’t going back out to buy a new one- Hailey painted her Easter eggs using a new water color set she had gotten from Aunt Ruth the week before.  (The package was later found under Hailey’s bed… I have no idea how it got there.)

Hailey loved using the water colors so that she could paint her eggs exactly how she wanted them.

Hailey’s favorite egg, which she specifically requested I post here.

A lovely work of art done by Rich.

Before she went to bed, Hailey picked out 2 eggs for the Easter bunny to eat and left them on the table along with an empty basket for the Easter bunny to fill.

When the Easter bunny came he ate the eggs and left a chocolate bunny and a puzzle on the table.  I guess he couldn’t fit everything into her basket…

In the morning Hailey followed a trail of eggs down the hall to see what the Easter bunny had left for her.

Hailey was searching for her basket and stopped to smile for a picture- not realizing that she was standing right next to her basket.

Finally found it!

Hailey loved her new Princess Tiana doll.

All dressed up in the Easter dress that she picked out.

One more picture in her Easter dress before heading off to church.

Easter also brought much sadness for our family as my Uncle Earl lost his battle with cancer that afternoon.  He was only 52 years old and leaves behind his wife Jayme and their 3 daughters- Bethany (8 years old), Sammi (4 years old) and Suzy (1 year old).  Please remember our family and especially my Aunt Jayme and the 3 girls during this difficult time.
